Tom,

I've seen the book before. It's a nice book. I used to be a Cub Scout and Boy Scout and knew some of these things years ago. Thanks

Bill,

You have a great poker face. I have a very dry sense of humor (I'm told). Your point of worrying has been made before, obviously, and you were right, so I don't worry as much.

My questions don't seem to carry the heftiness of others, but they are real questions. Sometimes I ask them in such a way that makes them sound less sincere than they really are. At work, when teaching the younger members of my profession, this type of questions works to make them think a little harder, and not just give a "standard" answer to a question. I'll be more straightforward here onwards.

I hide out to learn. (You know the saying about "If I'm the only one talking, I'll never learn anyting new). I'll try to contribute more and ask less. You always give such detailed answers, I guess it's hard for me to believe you might be jesting. I certainly don't mind when I get those type of answers.

Thanks for all of the suggestions about the guy cord from you all. I'll look up each knot.

One last statement and I'll go. I have met a hiker at work (a real person), and have noticed about him, and all the others here on the list, that there is such a strong passion for this. I like that about this stuff.

Steve.
